Go Ahead Be Gone With It And Get Your Sexy On

He has a pair of long underwear for riding his motorcycle in cold weather. When he gets home from riding, the layers of clothes are too warm so his jeans always come off, leaving his skinny legs and nonexistent butt clad only in saggy, white cotton long johns. I called them his "sexy pants" once and ever since then he sings "I'm wearing sexy pants" in a raspy Justin Timberlake voice (to the tune of "Sexy Back") every time he dons them. My favourite part is his Timbaland-esque "yey-ah" that follows.

He denies that his habit of leaving his socks on the ground has anything to do with how holey they get.

I beg to differ.

He eats peanut butter and bacon sandwiches. He calls them cowboy sandwiches. This may be one of the reasons I married him. (Cowboy sandwiches! How can that not melt your heart?!)

He is a very skilled musician. Sometimes I feel excluded from his rockstar world but mostly I just swoon at his talent.

He sings silly songs about the dogs to make me smile. (Think "they call me Stel-la! That's not my name!" sung to the tune of the Ting Tings' "That's Not My Name!") (I'm sorry if that song is stuck in your head now. If it's any consolation, it's totally stuck in mine.)

He stubbornly (and incorrectly) maintains that crunchy is superior to creamy. Therefore, we are a two peanut butter household. We're both okay with that.

He was born in Montreal and says "poutine" with a proper french accent (erm ... sort of like "puh-tsien" instead of "poo-teen.") This means that I now say "poutine" with a proper french accent. It's dreamy when he does it and quite douchey when I do.

It's his 32nd birthday today.

I love this guy.

  1. I laughed hysterically with the sock. And I'll be singing Sexy back all day. Also, smooth is definitely superior to crunchy.

    Happy birthday to Shawn!!

  12. I love how the dogs begin with the sock. But, then Stella decides she just needs to break out a can of whoop ass to show Wolfgang who is boss. hahaha.

    Shawn naps just like my husband does. Looking like a dead man draped diagonally across the entire bed.

    Happy birthday to the man!

  14. I heart this post! I can see Andrew singing about his sexy pants, our house is never quiet... and we are also a two peanut butter household. (Creamy for lyfe!)

    His family adores peanut butter bacon banana sandwiches. I think they have a cute name for it but it is escaping me at the moment.

    And Andrew introduced me to "cowboy sauce" (not as dirty as it sounds) which is sugar and cinnamon mixed together for enjoyment upon toast, pancakes, etc.

    In conclusion, WHY DON'T WE LIVE IN THE SAME CITY? I AM CERTAIN WE WOULD ALL BE BFFS NONSTOP.

    OX OX OX!
